What is your favorite "nasty" food item?

[NightWatcher]

I've been reading about the different "nasty" foods that one would never eat, even for world peace and it got me to thinking. What is your favorite food that most people find disgusting?

I personally love raw oysters (from Acme Oyster House on a Saltine cracker with cocktail sauce and horseradish). I have also eaten squirrel, shark, snake, rabbit, and lots of other tasty "nasty" things.

1. i love rabbit and oysters too

also snails

[NightWatcher]

2. ummm snails with french bread to soak up the oil and juices

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. yup.

you are making me hungry. love escargot, especially with a garlicy recipe.

[Maineiac]

4. Oh yeah!

Butter, garlic, mollusks in their own shell. What's not to love?

[Nikia]

5. I like broccoli, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms

Which were some of the few vegetarian foods people picked as things they would not eat.
I do not really love any non traditional meats. I have eaten turtle, but that was before I began to think much about the origin of the food I eat.

6. Hot Pockets.

I know they are a ridiculous food item, but I LOVE the Hot Pockets.

7. Dried fish jerky

snack you can find in most asian countries. It's so dry, it's almost papery. But I love it. :9

8. Goat brains

The eyeballs are pretty tasty too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Raw horse sushi; sea urchin, both innards and roe; whale bacon; fish heads (esp. fat around eye)

[alarimer]

10. Snails

I thought I would hate them but I love escargot. When you think about there is not much difference between them and clams/oysters. Just mollusks with one shell instead of two.

11. Pulpo!

I loves me some octopus with extra tentacles!

14. When I was very small, I had an irrational fear of fried octopus under my bed.

The very thought makes me want to :puke:

[Blue-Jay]

15. I'd be more scared of a LIVE octopus under my bed.

Those fuckers are dangerous!

16. So I was weird....

:shrug:

21. Yum

It's especially good in ceviche

[Initech]

12. Chicken McNuggets

The one item on the McDonald's menu where you really have no fucking clue what you're eating. It's fun to guess what's in them! :evilgrin:

[dropkickpa]

28. Ewww

Yeah, I hate most fast food, but occasionally break down and scarf the 20 piecer dipped in honey!

[unsavedtrash]

13. boiled okra in my black eyed peas.

A lot of people find it nasty but I can't eat peas any other way.

[femmocrat]

17. Jellied pigs feet.

It's really an ethnic delicacy called "studinina" or "kochinina". You have to boil them first, then cool them in the broth, which makes like a jellied consomme. My dad made them best... I don't know how to prepare them like he did.

[Akoto]

18. Cold mashed potatoes.

I don't know if it's nasty to most people, but it grosses my mother out whenever she sees me eating them. ;)

[Drum]

19. OMG...Acme!

Wow, you just woke up a whole lotta memories, and my mouth is watering now.

Acme (in N.O.) kicks ass!

:thumbsup:

20. Horse meat or fried Blood Sausage

.....horse meat just because it makes everyone go "ewww" and fried blood sausage with lingonberry sauce because I really do love it.



Cheers

22. Bacon Crackers and Easy Cheese

[Evoman]

23. Sardines.

I used to hate them, but forced myself to eat them because they are fairly nutritious. They actually made me feel quite good after I ate them daily, and I really started to like the taste. Now I love sardines.

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Sugar cones

They are 99 cents for 12 here at Smith's. Sometimes I eat them as a standalone.

And very often I'll buy a half gallon of ice cream but get so sick of it I flush it down the sink half way through. Then I'll eat the remaining 6 sugar cones, rationalizing I just did my body a favor by disposing of the unhealthy ice cream. :rofl:

25. Taco Bell

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Oscar Mayer Bologna

By itself. :9

[My Good Babushka]

27. I like a lot of crummy food

Nitrate-laden meats are my Achilles heel.

29. Chicken feet

Went to a Chinese dim sum restaurant where they pride themselves on being authentic mainland Chinese, and I found myself eating fried chicken feet there. I have to say that I was surprised by how good they were.
